A pardon would prevent her from pleading the fifth, and she could still be held liable for lying, so…

Everyone going to this protest needs to wear inflatables and turn it into a big dance party. It’ll COMPLETELY ruin their optics, lol.

Runaways suggests they don’t want to be found and aren’t really missing, though.

I feel like Swift is basically Elvis or The Beatles for her fans. She’s probably going to be around for a very long time, so it is possible.

So. MS-13 isn’t real, then?

So, they revoked a visa because the person stated the truth?

I met him long before I’d heard about how much of an ass he is. It was an uncomfortable and weird 15 seconds. I walked away certain he had a very bad side.

With the way Trump’s been looking, he’ll be dead before then.

How is ChatGPT supposed to make shopping easier/faster? I can already click one button to reorder everything from a past order. There is absolutely no need for more AI ridiculousness.

Is it possible to get a negative rating? Because that’s what a show like that would get.

Between this, the Vance interview from Sunday, and the airports not showing Noem’s propaganda, it certainly seems like the tides are changing.

No, Donald, we’ve never shot sniper rifles at ICE agents. And you paid someone to shoot a rifle at you. Stop lying.

Funny, but don’t let him off the hook so easily. He’s investing in Argentina rather than the US because he’s planning to flee there when he’s finally held accountable for his crimes.

Oh, so he thinks it’s “great” to help Argentina, while leaving Americans completely screwed? So much for “America first.”

Sure. They’re saving Christianity by shooting rubber bullets and pepper spray at praying religious leaders.

Naked people are threatening? That’s odd, seeing as how everyone else in the world sees being naked in public as being in a vulnerable position.

Narrator: His resistance did, in fact, add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein.

In other words, he’s completely fine with them shooting pepper balls at faith leaders and illegally arresting journalists.

Impeachment is a pipe dream because the GOP owns all three houses. They’d have to vote against him, and they’ve already shown that they weren’t.

Me, a layperson: *alarmed*

My friend, an Army Signal officer: Yeah, that’s how satellites work.

For three years, the UCSD and UMD researchers developed and used an off-the-shelf, $800 satellite receiver system on the roof of a university building in the La Jolla seaside neighborhood of San Diego to pick up the communications of
geosynchronous satellites in the small band of space visible from their
Southern California vantage point. By simply pointing their dish at different satellites and spending months interpreting the obscure-but unprotected-signals they received from them, the researchers assembled an alarming collection of private data: They obtained samples

private data: They obtained samples of the contents of Americans' calls and text messages on I-Mobile's cellular network, data from airline passengers' in-flight Wi-Fi browsing, communications to and from critical infrastructure such as electric utilities and offshore oil and gas platforms, and even US and Mexican military and law enforcement communications that revealed the locations of personnel, equipment, and facilities.
